“We loved our stay at the Mercure Shakespeare!”

We had a lovely overnight in Stratford-upon-Avon at the Mercure Shakespeare! We couldn't have been more pleased by our spacious room in the Garrick Wing. The reasons to rate the comfort of the room at 4 instead of 5 are: the doors in the building slam very strongly, so you hear and feel it in your room, and some street noise which can be disturbing. I would request a room at the back of the wing next time. The hotel staff were all helpful and pleasant. The breakfast, in a word, fabulous! This is a great place to stay in Stratford, in the centre of town, you can walk everywhere! Take a train or bus, and leave the car at home.

“Couldn't ask for more”

I had an amazing experience! It was the hottest summer in England's history and I slept in absolute comfort thanks to the air conditioned room. The hotel is filled with character: the restaurants are lovely and the rooms and halls are decorated with fascinating artwork. The staff could not have been more friendly and accomodating. Perfect location for theatre lovers and tourists. I will definitely be staying again.

“Warm welcome”

It has been the coldest week for years and the hotel was warm, comfortable and the staff friendly and helpful.

“Great property and a great location”

This is a nice property and a good value for the money. The rooms are very nice, and the restaurant food is very good. Great location in central Stafford.

“Great location and great value for money. Would definitely recommend it.”

Great location and excellent value for money. Friendly and helpful staff. No wifi in rooms but free wifi in the bar area (password available at mercure counter). Beds ok. Bathroom adequate. Rooms overall were good. Considering the age of the property, it is in fantastic condition. Lots of great restaurants within 100m of the hotel. Location location.

“Great location, but a pain for parking”

We spent two nights at the Shakespeare hotel, and the location was excellent for the theatres and restaurants. We did not pay for the hotel breakfast but instead visiting a pub across the street which was quite a bit cheaper for a good breakfast. Our rooms were in the Garrick Wing, a separate building behind the main hotel, but the rooms themselves were lovely. The only real complaint we had was that the on-site parking was full, so we had to find and pay for off-site parking, which was several blocks away from the hotel. When we left a piece of jewellery behind in the room, we called reception and they were able to locate it and arrange for it to be shipped to our home address, which was very much appreciated.

“Wonderful”

It was everthing I had hoped for. Great friendly service good location, nice room. Reasonable price.

“Exceeded our expectations”

The Mercure Shakespeare is a real treat - looks and feels close to "period" and yet offers convenience of internet. We had a wonderful stay there. I have tried in the past to book there however it was always full (usually summer). The staff and facilities are impressive. Staff is friendly and pleasant. Rooms were extremely clean, maid service was excellent. Services such as the bar, restaurant and grill were great. As a bonus the cast of Royal Shakespeare Co. "Romeo and Juliet" stayed there too so we enjoyed meeting many of the actors we admired the night before at the theater. Our visit to Stratford this time exceeded our expectations thanks to the Mercure Shakespeare. Thanks Expedia for the opportunity!

“Lovely!”

Fantastic location, friendly staff, lovely room! We had a very pleasant day and would recommend the hotel to all.

“Couple in early sixties / late fifties”

The hotel is ideally situated in the heart of Stratford about 5 mins walk form the RSC theatre. The hotel has a lovely warm atmosphere and although it has recently been renovated it retians an old world charm. There is car parking at the back of the hotel with a charge of £10 per night which is fair enough. Breakfast was not included in our room rate buty we were offered a special deal on arrival of £10 per person for breakfast. The breakfast was not brilliant but was quite acceptable. I would definitely recommend this hotel particularly at the rate offered by Expedia when I booked.
